Cephaloleia elaeidis Maulik, 1924

Published record. Cantareira (Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ 2014).

Distribution. Brazil (Bahia, São Paulo) and? Ecuador.

Remarks. The records from Ecuador (Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋ- ർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ 2014) are dubious and the species was probably misidentified. On the other hand, the species is a pest on palms and thus could have been imported to Ecuador. Also, the record from São Paulo should be verified to confirm its identity as many species feeding on palm trees are morphologically similar.
